Learning Windows Server Containers

Overview of this book

Windows Server Containers are independent, isolated, manageable and portable application environments which are light weight and shippable. Decomposing your application into smaller manageable components or MicroServices helps in building scalable and distributed application environments. Windows Server Containers have a significant impact on application developers, development operations (DevOps) and infrastructure management teams. Applications can be built, shipped and deployed in a fast-paced manner on an easily manageable and updatable environment. Learning Windows Server Containers teaches you to build simple to advanced production grade container based application using Asp.Net Core, Visual Studio, Azure, Docker and PowerShell technologies. The book teaches you to build and deploy simple web applications as Windows and Hyper-V containers on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 on Azure. You will learn to build on top of Windows Container Base OS Images, integrate with existing images from Docker Hub, create custom images and publish to Hub. You will also learn to work with storage containers built using Volumes and SQL Server as container, create and configure custom networks, integrate with Redis Cache containers, configure continuous integration and deployment pipelines using VSTS and Git Repository. Further you can also learn to manage resources for a container, setting up monitoring and diagnostics, deploy composite container environments using Docker Compose on Windows and manage container clusters using Docker Swarm. The last chapter of the book focuses on building applications using Microsoft’s new and thinnest server platform – Nano Servers.

Multiple container networks


Creating multiple container networks is possible by using either an external switch, as in transparent, L2 bridge or L2 tunnel networking mode, or by using NAT mode. In NAT mode, multiple container networks are possible on a single container host using logical partitions.

The following command shows the InternalIPAddressPrefix which can be used to create two or more logical NAT networks falling under the same IP prefix:

get-netnat

As shown in the following screenshot, the InternalIPAddressPrefix of the container host is 172.20.80.1/20:

Run the following command to create two NAT networks and a gateway:

docker network create -d nat --subnet 172.20.81.0/24 
--gateway 172.20.81.1 natnetwork1
docker network create -d nat --subnet 172.20.82.0/24 
--gateway 172.20.82.1 natnetwork2

While creating containers in any subnet, the appropriate network can be chosen using the -network flag.
